A Korean broadcast network has been forced to apologise after using "totally inappropriate" graphics during the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony.
MBC was criticised for images chosen to represent countries as athletes entered Tokyo's National Stadium on Friday evening for the Parade of Nations.
When Ukraine was introduced, for example, an image of Chernobyl appeared on the broadcast.

Later, Haitian athletes were accompanied by a caption which read: "The political situation is fogged by the assassination of the president."
